Abstract
Discusses the next wave of development of the World Wide Web, described as the ‘semantic web’. This is a way of building a web where computers can use a web of source data, interpret, analyse and process it, and present it to a user. Briefly describes the five levels of the semantic web: Unique Addresses – URI; Schema – XMLschema (DTDs)/RDFschema; Vocabulary – Ontology; Rules – Logic and Proof; Security – Trust. Concludes that we need to think of our websites as being part of a whole, rather than running them in isolation.
